IMPROVEMENT IN NAVAL STORE-ROOM OR COACH LAMPS.

' Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 140,448, dated July1, 1873; application filed March 12, 1873. 1

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, JOSEPH J. WALTON, of New York, in the county of NewYork and State of New York, have invented certain new and usefulImprovements in Naval Store- Room and Coach Lamps; and I do herebydeclare that the following is a full, clear, and exact descriptionthereof, that will enable others skilled in the art to which itappertains to make and use the same, reference being bad to theaccompanying drawings and to the letters of reference marked thereonwhich form a part of this specification.

This invention has for its object to provide means by which the ordinaryoil store-room or coach lamp may be used with the ordinary candlestickor oil, as desired, and at the same time arrange the devices so that thecandlestick may be used in the usual manner, if desired, when detachedfrom the lamp, and the usual oil-lamp used in the lamp or lantern; andit consists in the construction and arrangement of parts, as hereinaftermore fully described and pointed out by the claim.

In the drawing, Figure 1 is a section of a lantern with the improvementattached, and

Fig. 2 is a bottom view of the same.

A represents the body or upper portion of the ordinary store-room orcoach lamp, and B.

represents the bottom of the same, the center of which has a perforationlarge enough to receive the tube 0. Upon the bottom of the part B isattached a flange, 0, extending around the central perforation,constructed to fit inside of the conical plate G upon the tube 0. Theupper outer edge of the plate Gr forms a bead, d, having two slots, 0 c,to receive the hooks f f upon the arms or bars I I, said arms or barsbeing secured to the bottom B. The tube 0 is provided with the spring D,cap E,

disk at, and curved arms b b, so that the candle with the lamp orlantern in the usual manner.

I am aware that candlesticks have been used with lamps or lanternsbefore; but in the construction of these devices heretofore, it has beensuch that the lanterns or lamps are so arranged that either a candlemust be used all the time, or an oil-lamp used all the time, while theobject of my invention is to use the candlestick with the lantern, oruse the oil-lamp with "the lantern, or either by itself, as desired.

Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim, and desire tosecure by Letters Patent, is-

The bottom B having central perforation, flange 0, bars I, and hooks f,with no device attached to the top of the bottom B to allow the lamp orlantern A to be used with the tube 0 and its attachments fora candle, orthe"tube O and attachments to be removed from the lamp and used byitself, and the lamp or lantern to be used with the ordinary oil-lamp,as desired, as and TOLL-$2M, purpose specified.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing I have-hereunto set my hand.
